On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 1,044 of 1,051 decisive votes (3 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Good luck with that.
We move now to the Independent Group.
The Deputy has five minutes for questions and answers. We are coming up to half time.
The Order of Business was approved and there is 15 minutes in total.
The Deputy is eating into his colleague's time.
The Deputy might avoid naming individual companies. The time has expired for those questions. The Minister might agree to provide written responses to Members. We will move on to the Sinn Féin Members.
Deputy Clarke was signalling but I did not have her name. I call Deputy Clarke. My apologies.
I congratulate Deputy Clarke on her maiden contribution.
I thank the Minister of State.
The Taoiseach has four minutes to respond.
Hold on Deputy-----
I call Deputy Pringle.
Okay. Perhaps Deputy Pringle could be very brief.
All right. I have to take that advice.
